Construct the list of keys which have values within your desired range. Pull a random key out of that list, and you're done!

my $min = 2;
my $max = 5;
my %hash = (
a => 00,
b => 01,
c => 02,
d => 03,
e => 04,
f => 05,
g => 06
);
# Main program
my @match = grep { $hash{$_} >= $min and $hash{$_} <= $max } keys %has

my $rand = $match[rand @match];
printf "Random key = '%s', Value = '%s'\n", $rand, $hash{$rand};

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
